Anarchy?

It seems that liberal commentators are confused again.  David French, at the Conservative Fortnightly, calls them on it, partly.  They are attributing people that carry a gun to defend themselves, rather than rely on police protection, as anarchists that are short circuiting the governments 'monopoly on force.'  It's a blind spot and they are totally confuzzled, obviously.  Sorta like people that are against 'violence' like all violence is equal.

They are wrong.

The government doesn't have a monopoly on force.  They have a monopoly on the intiation of force.  Responding to force with force is not the same, and still within confines of the civil contract.  It is a human right, older than History.  GET that in your head, Andrew Sullivan.

Related:  And there is a world of difference between predatory violence and protective violence.  If Lefties learn ANYTHING they should learn this concept.  But they won't.  It's like describing the color orange to a person blind since birth. 

Until they can get their heads around this they should stop arguing to strip people of their civil rights.
